"I like Ron Paul and he is a libertarian."

Ron Paul is not a libertarian, he is a constitutional conservative. He got tossed out of the LP for NOT being a libertarian! He is for a small constitutional federal government and letting states decide social issues. Just like out Constitution says it should.

Well said, jpsb. And Artcore, as a fairly religious Jew, deeply familiar and friendly with Israel, I do not believe that Paul is an "antisemite." He is what I'd call a Washingtonian, or a Jeffersonian even: an egalitarian racially and religiously (for better or for worse) who cannot see the constitutional logic in ANY blank check to ANY foreign nation. Is that so ridiculous a concept? It was forged in Philadelphia, and it makes good sense to me.

I have never seen how conservative constitutionalism needed to be re-invented. We preserve Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. This is an American idea, the light of the world, and it is the cherished heritage of our citizens.

I didn’t know he was ousted from the libertarian party. Whatever, I like the guy and I am a constitutionalist, too.
